Can Uhuru Lead Kenya For One More Term?

NAIROBI, KE - We all know, that the election is close. But can President Uhuru be able to slide Kenya to his 2^nd term? He has maybe 50-50 chance.

President Uhuru Kenyatta yesterday unveiled a national campaign team to spearhead his re-election in next year’s General Election.

The President also took advantage of his new Jubilee Party’s first special National Governing Council meeting to highlight the progress made in the implementation of the promises he made to Kenyans during the last elections.

Addressing hundreds of delegates at the NGC at Bomas of Kenya in Nairobi, the President also took time to respond to his opponents’ criticism of the government.

He denied mega corruption scandals recorded under his administration, dismissing them as mere propaganda and cheap politics by the opposition.

Both seasoned and new politicians were named to the President’s team of campaigners distributed across the country’s former eight provinces.

“I am certain of victory in the next elections. We have fulfilled over 70 per cent of the promises we made to Kenyans. Everyone with eyes can see what we have done within the past four years under my administration,” President Kenyatta said.

But some others think he can't be supported. Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua has said she did not declare her support for President Uhuru Kenyatta’s re-election bid.

This comes a few days after she told Kirinyaga residents as she campaigned for the governor’s seat to vote for the President. Ms Karua said she did not have a problem with President Kenyatta’s re-election bid.

Speaking on Citizen TV on Wednesday, Ms Karua said she will not necessarily support President Kenyatta and has left each of her party branches to make their choice of candidate for the presidency.
